Heroic Rescue: ACS Field Supervisor Saves Charlie the Shepherd in Woodlawn Water Rescue

In a heartwarming and cinematic turn of events, Charlie, a brave Shepherd, was saved from a potential water hazard in Woodlawn Park thanks to the quick thinking and swift actions of ACS Field Supervisor Lopez.

Lopez, while responding to a report of a small dog roaming near the park, unexpectedly crossed paths with Charlie, who seemed to be lost. Observing from a distance, Lopez noticed that Charlie’s collar was still attached but appeared to have been broken loose from his tether.

The story took an unexpected turn when Charlie, as if following a script from a movie, fearlessly decided to jump into the lake, embarking on an impromptu swimming adventure towards the nearest embankment.

With the pup now in potential danger, Lopez acted swiftly, using a rope to rescue Charlie just in the nick of time, ensuring the four-legged friend’s safety. However, the peculiar tale had another twist – a concerned resident, witnessing the unfolding events, reported that Charlie had been circling around a backpack on a nearby bench.

The mystery deepens as it remains unknown whether there is a connection between Charlie and the owner of the backpack. Following the rescue, Charlie was brought to ACS, where he received the necessary care. Now, the community is urged to join in the efforts to reunite Charlie with his family.

ACS is seeking the public’s help in locating Charlie’s family by sharing this heartwarming story far and wide. Additionally, individuals interested in contributing to Charlie’s well-being can consider fostering him by reaching out to the ACS foster team at ACSfoster@sanantonio. Let’s come together to ensure Charlie’s safe return home and celebrate the heroics of ACS Field Supervisor Lopez.
